COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – After months of speculation, The King himself made the news official on Tuesday morning: George Strait will headline a concert at Kyle Field this June.
The concert will take place on Saturday, June 15, and tickets go on sale today. Donors to the 12th Man Foundation have been told they will be invited to a donor presale event from 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 19 to Thursday, March 21.

Strait’s final concert during The Cowboy Rides Away Tour at AT&T Stadium in Arlington hosted a crowd of 104,793, a smaller crowd than each of Kyle Field’s top ten most-attended football games. Temporary floor seating is expected to be added at Kyle Field for the Strait concert.
